Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Components
- 4 small flour tortillas (approximately 13 cm diameter)
- 4 frozen chicken tenders
Fillings
- 180 grams shredded lettuce
- 60 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 60 millilitres ranch dressing
Instructions
- Cook Chicken Tenders: Prepare frozen chicken tenders according to the package instructions until they are thoroughly cooked and golden crisp on the outside. This usually involves baking or frying depending on the product.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave them for 10–15 seconds until they become soft and flexible, making them easier to roll.
- Slice Chicken: Once the chicken tenders are cooked, cut them into bite-sized pieces to evenly distribute in the wrap.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat and evenly spread shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and the sliced chicken along the center of the tortilla.
- Add Ranch Dressing: Drizzle the ranch dressing over the fillings to add a creamy and tangy flavor that complements the crunchy chicken and fresh lettuce.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold both sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly into a compact wrap to hold everything together securely.
- Final Touch: Serve immediately for the best freshness and crispness, or wrap the snack wraps in foil for easy portability and to keep them warm.
Notes
- For a healthier option, opt for whole wheat tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with a low-fat or yogurt-based dressing to reduce calories.
- Adding sliced tomatoes or avocado can enhance flavor and nutrition.
- Make sure the chicken tenders are hot before assembling to keep the wrap warm.
- Wraps can be prepared in advance and refrigerated, but consuming soon after assembly ensures optimal texture.
